Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of hand dryers.
  • Figure 1 illustrates one conventional style of hand dryer a, currently marketed and sold under the model name AB01, as part of the Dyson Airblade® range of hand dryers. It works by using a motor-driven fan to force air at high pressure through an opposing pair of narrow, slit-like nozzles b, c, each less than 1mm wide, partially enclosed in a drying cavity d. This creates two opposing thin sheets, or "blades", of high velocity (>100m/s) air which act to strip water from the front and backs of a user's hands as they are 'dipped' - palms flat - into the drying cavity d between the opposing nozzles b, c.
  • the hand dryer shown in Figure 1 provides a "two-sided" drying action: both the front and back of the hands are dried at the same time.
  • FIG. 2 Another conventional style of hand dryer e is shown in Figure 2.
  • a single, relatively large nozzle / is provided, rather than opposing nozzles.
  • This single nozzle / directs drying air down onto the user's hands, which are held underneath the nozzle/to dry.
  • the air is ejected at relatively low speed compared to the hand dryer a in Figure 1 : too low to drive significant amounts of water moisture from the hands. Instead, the air is heated to promote evaporative drying of water moisture on the hands of the user.
  • the drying action is a "hand-over-hand" action, requiring the user to rub the hands together under the nozzle/ with the aim of encouraging the evaporative drying effect. It is an object of the present invention to try to provide an improved hand dryer.
  • a hand dryer for drying one side of a user's hands at a time, the dryer having a left-hand nozzle section which, in normal use, is used to dry a user's left hand and a right-hand nozzle section which, in normal use, is used separately to dry the user's right hand, the left-hand nozzle section being arranged to emit drying air along a first direction - outwardly to the left of the dryer - and the right-hand nozzle section being arranged to emit drying air in a second direction - outwardly to the right of the dryer - said first and second directions having a downward and/or forward component.
  • the dryer of the present invention does not rely on a two-sided drying action. Instead, the dryer is arranged for drying one side of a user's hand at a time: opposing nozzles are not used to dry both sides of the hand simultaneously.
  • This is advantageous, because the use of opposing nozzles on conventional two-sided hand dryers places a restriction on the overall depth of the machine: sufficient depth is required to accommodate both sets of opposing nozzles, a reasonable gap between the nozzles for admitting the hands, and also the supply ducting for the opposing nozzles. By removing the requirement for opposing nozzles, this restriction is likewise removed.
  • the dryer of the present invention advantageously dries a user's individual hands separately.
  • the left-hand nozzle section directs air along a first direction
  • the right-hand nozzle section directs air along a second direction.
  • these two directions have a component to the left and right respectively - so the left-hand nozzle section directs air outwardly to the left of the dryer, whereas the right-hand nozzle directs air outwardly to the right of the dryer.
  • each of the first and second direction has a downward component and/or a forward component.
  • the first direction may have, in addition to the outward component, either a downward component only, a forward component only or both a downward and a forward component: in the latter case so that the air is directed forwardly and downwardly to the left or right of the dryer, as the case may be.
  • Directing the drying air to either side of the dryer helps to limit "splash-back" and “blow-back” - water and drying air being blown onto the user's face and body in use - which increases user comfort.
  • the air is directed either outwardly and downwardly or outwardly and forwardly - or both - a user is able to bank his hands in use - thus making the drying action described above relatively comfortable - but still have the hands generally "square-on" to the oncoming airflow ejected through the nozzle sections.
  • square-on is meant substantially perpendicular to the oncoming flow, viewed from the front of the dryer.
  • the drying air is advantageous for the drying air to be directed forwardly down onto the hands of the user i.e. so that the first and second directions each have both a downward and forward component.
  • This allows the user to position his hands further from the wall in use, meaning that the nozzle sections themselves may be arranged closer in to the wall, minimising the depth of the dryer.
  • the precise level of splash-back and blow-back can be effectively controlled within tolerable limits by controlling the diverging angle of the air jets in conjunction with the declination angle.
  • a preferred angle of divergence for the first and second direction is 100-120 degrees.
  • a preferred angle of declination is in excess of 50 degrees.
  • the left-hand nozzle section may be banked to the right and the right-hand nozzle section may be banked to the left, effectively so that the user is able to hold the hands at a corresponding banked attitude, yet maintain close proximity to the nozzle sections across the full width of each hand.
  • the banking of the left-hand and right-hand nozzles also allows the user comfortably to pitch his hands downward in use - again maintaining close proximity to the nozzle sections - increasing the effective depth between the nozzle sections and the wall. In combination with the removal of any requirement for opposing nozzles, this provides for a very shallow machine depth.
  • the nozzle sections are preferably banked at the same angle, in which case their relative orientation may conveniently be described with reference to the angle between the nozzle sections - herein referred to as the Relative Bank Angle.
  • a steep (small) Relative Bank Angle will tend to favour the pass of the user's hands with palms upwards (and inwards).
  • a shallow (large) Relative Bank Angle will tend to favour the pass of the user's hand with palm facing downwards (and outwards), particularly if the hands are pitched downwards in normal use.
  • a Relative Bank Angle of around 115 degrees is considered to offer a good compromise.
  • the nozzle sections may be arranged symmetrically either side of the centreline of the dryer, though this is not essential.
  • the nozzle sections may each comprise an elongate air slot (or equally separate elongate sections of the same continuous air slot) or a row of air nozzles, one or more of which may be elongate.
  • these elongate slots or rows of nozzles may be are arranged in a V-configuration when viewed from the front of the dryer.
  • Each nozzle section may extends to span the width of a user's hand, for effective drying across the full hand span of the user. This promotes a drying action in which the user passes the open hand lengthwise across the respective nozzle section, first with the palm facing the nozzle sections and then - after turning over the hands - with the back of the hands facing the nozzle section (or vice versa). There is no requirement in normal use to rub the hands together in the vein of the "hand over hand" drying method used on some conventional dryers: indeed, this is actively discouraged by the provision of dedicated nozzle sections for each hand.
  • a preferred range of lengths for the nozzle sections is 100- 150mm. This tends to ensure that the nozzle sections will effectively extend across the majority of user's hands in use.
  • the precise length will be a trade-off between, on the one hand, a compact design and, on the other hand, the usability of the dryer for users with relatively large hands. Accordingly, the preferred length may vary - for example by country.
  • a length specification of 120mm for the nozzle sections (with a tolerance of ⁇ 10mm) generally offers a good compromise in most cases.
  • the nozzle sections may conveniently be provided on an underside of the dryer, in which case this underside may also be V-shaped when viewed from the front of the dryer.
  • a motor-driven fan will typically be provided to force drying air through the nozzle sections.
  • the hand dryer is provided with a motor driven fan for forcing air through the nozzle sections at high speed: in excess of 100 m/s.
  • the hand dryer may be provided with a drying cavity, but this is not essential and may be disadvantageous if the desire is to minimise the depth of the machine on the wall.
  • a downwardly-pitched guide part may be provided behind each nozzle section for guiding the pitch of the user's hands in use, advantageously increasing the effective depth of the dryer on the wall.
  • a preferred pitch for this guide part is 45 degrees.
  • the guide part may be in the form of a continuous ramp surface, but this is not essential.
  • the guide part may be set back from the nozzles - preferably more than 5mm - to help prevent the drying air laminating on the guide part in use.

  • Figures 3 - 5 each show a wall-mountable hand dryer 1 , here illustrated in its normal wall-mounted orientation.
  • Figure 6 shows the principal interior components of the hand dryer 1 , in highly schematic form.
  • the hand dryer 1 comprises a main casing 3, which houses a ducted fan 5.
  • a motor 7 is provided inside the main casing to drive the fan 5, which draws air through intakes 9 on either side of the main casing 3 and forces the air at high speed (>100m/s) out through two nozzle sections: a left-hand nozzle section 11, on the left-hand side of the dryer 1, and a right-hand nozzle section 13 on the right-hand side of the dryer 1.
  • These nozzle sections 11, 13 are positioned on an underside 15 of the dryer 1, and run along a front lower edge of the main casing 3 so that they are spaced from the wall 17 a distance x in use ( Figure 5).
  • the nozzle sections 11, 13 are each in the form of an elongate air slot - less than 1mm in width - arranged so that they are generally parallel with the wall (the elongate air slot 13 is shown in Figure 7, looking from underneath the dryer 1). Because the nozzle sections are thin, the drying air is ejected through each of the slots 11, 13 in the form of thin sheets of air 11a, 13a ( Figure 5).
  • Each air slot 11, 13 is 120mm in length: intended so that the corresponding 'air-sheets' 1 la, 13a each span the width of a user's open hand.
  • the hands are inserted lengthwise front-to-back underneath the nozzle sections 11, 13, and the high-speed air-sheets 11a, 13a are directed down onto the hands to 'scrape' water from the hands as they are subsequently withdrawn underneath the nozzle sections 11, 13.
  • the hands are dried one side at a time: first, the user passes his (or her) hands forth and back underneath the nozzle sections with the palm facing up towards the nozzle sections (referred to below as the "standard pass”). This is illustrated in Figure 8a. Then - after turning over the hands - the user passes his (or her) hands forth and back underneath the nozzle sections with the back of the hands facing up towards the nozzle sections (referred to below as the "reverse pass”). This is illustrated in Figure 8b.
  • the "standard pass” and “reverse pass” may each be repeated, as required, and carried out in any order.
  • a conventional sensor arrangement (not shown) can be used to turn on the motor in response to the detection of a user's hands. The same sensor arrangement may be used subsequently to turn the motor off in response to a null detection, or else the motor may be operated on a timer. Use of a sensor arrangement is not essential: the dryer may alternatively be arranged for manual operation.
  • the left-hand nozzle section 11 is banked to the right and the right-hand nozzle section 13 is banked to the left.
  • Figures 9a and 9b show the nozzle sections 11, 13 banked at an angle + ⁇ and - ⁇ about an axis A (also shown in Figure 1) - analogous to the banking of an aircraft 21 about its Roll Axis, RA ( Figure 10).
  • the nozzles Viewed from the front of the hand dryer the nozzles have a V- configuration, symmetrical about the centerline of the dryer.
  • a downwardly-pitched guide part is provided behind each of the nozzle sections 11, 13 to help control the pitch angle, ⁇ , of the hands in use.
  • This guide part is in the form of a continuous ramp surface 19 which encourages the user to pitch his hands in order to avoid making contact with the ramp surface.
  • the ramp surface 19 may be pitched at an angle of 45 degrees to provide an effective depth of approximately 280mm.
  • the start of the ramp surface 19 is set back from the air nozzles to help prevent the airflow laminating on the ramp surface, which is undesirable for optimum performance (compare Figure 13 with Figure 14, the latter showing an arrangement in which the ramp surface is not set back: resulting in possible lamination of the airflow onto the ramp surface, particularly in use when airflow is deflected back off the user's hand).
  • a set back of at least 5mm is considered preferable.
  • the nozzle sections 11, 13 are arranged to direct airflow downwardly and/or forwardly - as well as outwardly either side of the dryer. Within these constraints, the precise direction of the drying airflow may vary, however - independently of the bank angle of the nozzle sections 11, 13. In the arrangement shown in Figures 3 to 5, for example, the air-sheets are directed outwardly and downwardly - but not forwardly towards the user (see Figures 15a and 15b). Blow back and spray back is limited as a consequence of the airflow being directed outwardly to the left and right of the dryer.
  • Figures 16a, 16b and 16c show a slightly different arrangement.
  • the left-hand nozzle section 11 is arranged to direct air outwardly along a first direction A - to the left of the dryer 1.
  • the right hand nozzle-section 13 is arranged to direct air outwardly along a second direction B - to the right of the dryer 1.
  • the first and second directions A, B each have both a downward component Aj, Bd and a forward component A f , B f . Consequently, drying air from the nozzle sections 11, 13 is directed forwards towards the user.
  • blow-back and spray-back onto the user's face and body.
  • the degree of blow-back and spray-back experienced by the user will depend both upon the angle of declination, ⁇ , and the angle of divergence, ⁇ , of the first and second directions A, B. Relatively small angles of declination may be compensated for by relatively large angles of divergence and vice versa.
  • the angle of divergence of the air-sheets 11a, 13a corresponds specifically to the banking angle of the nozzle sections 11, 13 i.e. the drying air is ejected at a normal to the nozzle sections 11, 13. This means that the drying air impacts the hands "square-on" - looking along the roll axis of the hands - when the user banks the hands generally plane-parallel with the nozzle sections 11, 13.
  • FIG 17 shows an alternative hand dryer 10, in which each nozzle section is in the form of a banked row of individual nozzles 23 arranged to direct the drying air outwardly and downwardly - but not forwardly in this particular case.
  • the underside of the dryer is V-shaped when viewed from the front of the dryer. This is not essential.
  • Figure 18 shows a different arrangement in which the nozzle sections - in the form of a row of individual nozzles 25 - are provided on a flat underside of the hand dryer 100.
  • the nozzle sections are not banked, either - but are instead provided in a flat configuration.
  • the nozzles 25 are arranged to direct drying airflow outwardly and downwardly either side of the dryer, but a similar arrangement could alternatively be used to direct air forwardly and/or downwardly.
  • Figure 19 shows an alternative hand dryer 1000 in which the drying air is directed forwardly and outwardly, but not downwardly.
  • the nozzle sections comprise elongate air-slots 1100 and 1300, but could equally comprise a row of nozzles. In this sort of arrangement the precise level of splash- back and blow-back can be controlled via the angle of divergence, ⁇ .
  • the guide part behind the nozzle sections need not be a continuous ramped surface.
  • Figure 20 shows an arrangement which uses a 'discontinuous' guide part, formed by a series of ribs 25, collectively pitched at an angle ⁇ .
  • Figure 21 shows an alternative dryer 1000 with no guide part at all - similar in other respects to the arrangement shown in Figure 3.
